Luthiery Spring | 2008

Jim Fleeting is a Luthier based in North Yorkshire. He makes and repairs guitars using a combination of modern engineering principles and traditional handbuilding techniques.

His scholarship allowed him to study the principles of “voicing” a guitar (shaping and carving the wood to determine its sound) alongside one of the world’s finest guitar-makers. Jim’s guitars are now considered some of the most beautiful guitars built in the UK, rivalling the sound of the great American guitars.
